Good morning. Today is the second and final day of in-person voting at the Senate House. If you work in Cambridge or can travel there, it is your chance to make history by helping to choose our next Chancellor in the most democratic process to date. It is quick and easy to do, with a bit of dress-up involved (the University will provide a gown). Below are some of the individuals who have kindly and thoughtfully offered their public support for my campaign, endorsing the importance of enhancing academic excellence, protecting and promoting academic freedom and free speech, and improving funding for our Collegiate University. My deep thanks to them. Your voice matters and, whoever you vote for, it is important that you have your say over Cambridge’s future. Thank you. @Cambridge_Uni #cambridgechancellor #cambridgechancellor2025 #cambridge @QueensCam @RoryStewartUK @GordonBrown @FryRsquared @maitlis @ariannahuff @gilliantett @NBerggruen @LynnForester11 @Dambisamoyo @bryworthington @satyanadella @AndrewmitchMP @SimoneSchnall @DianeCoyle1859 @demishassabis @reidhoffman @bryworthington @CassSunstein

Obviously - since this is a Google Deepmind podcast - @nicklaslundblad is presenting one particular view. But I hope you'll see that I've tried to make this conversation as robust, fair and interesting a listen as possible. Would love to hear what you think

The pleasure was all mine! Pushmeet is one of my favourite people on earth to interview - and you can see why if you watch our latest here:
It was a pleasure to talk to @FryRsquared about the work we are doing @GoogleDeepMind on leveraging Ai for Science. She has amazing intellectual curiosity and insight, and is passionate about AI and Science.
